Another one that I absolutely love are the "lifted" JDM slant hood yO! where they put washers/spacers between the hood and hinge to raise the trailing edge of the hood up. All that says to me is "Hi, I dont' know anything about anything." I have yet to see a car where they actually needed to do this to clear something. I know some idiots claim it helps lower underhood temps, but the reality is, it will do NOTHING for underhood temps in most cases.
Cross pollination of trends between muscle cars and imports is a most curious thing, is it not? 
It's a Hawaii thing but yeah.. My wife likes gecko stickers which reminds me I am supposed to get one for her new car..
"TRY WAIT" is another Hawaii thing which I also have on my car. It's means "just a sec" or something along those lines.
Just like "WATUFAKA" is sort of like "oh hello, what are you up to today?" or something along those lines... HAHA..

I have a "Wat, boddah you?!" decal that I never put on.
It's spelled "haole".
My fav one I had was the NSU sticker with the old skull on it. I had a big one on the back window of my '73 Celica that obviously had thick mirror tint all around brah.
The only thing I have left is my "TRY WAIT" sticker on my Justy.
What's funny is that these stickers are NOTHING compared to the full-back window tributes in old English vinyl and stuff you would see on the islands. Big lifted truck with NOR*CAL sticker might look silly, but it's nothing compared to a pink sparkly mini truck packed with ****ing swords or an '83 Toyota with an 18" lift on 44's.

Yeah I guess so but it sucks that people made the stuff that was actually cool suck now. Like, the "Hui O He'e Nalu" sticker with the classic logo and such is still okay but only if the sticker is obviously old and worn out haha..

Or the lifted Nissan Armada with the word "Tongan" written like the "Tapout" logo ALL OVER the vehicle with tapa cloth theme EVERYWHERE!

Gawd, that's even worse than snapping off the "-ma" from a "Tacoma" emblem (an old coworker did that on his company car -- which was a Dodge Magnum ).

Oh my god, those cars are real life versions of my worst nightmare. Just imagine how much it costs to get tires!??! 30" tires!? Dude, what is wrong with these people?
At least those wheels are on newer cars... Some of those idiots will put 30" wheels onto some POS american car from the 80's. One TIRE costs more than the entire car itself... I cant imagine how much all 4 tires and wheels cost. What happens when you get a flat tire? Do you take out a second mortgage?

Besides the over sized wheels, i'd say the stickers and what not is just lame let alone all these cars with body kits that look like a 9 year put them on. I dont really care for body kits period but when they are not even put on right they look even worse.

I agree with the over sized wheels and what not but most we'll say "thugs" that do this have nice classic cars which they ruin by doing so. But when it comes to price per tire and price of car that's a pretty crazy statement you have.. For example today I went down to lawrence expressway and there was a nice chevelle, one of those cars is worth a lot. But of course he did have those dumb *** 30 inch chrome wheels...

I also love it when people try to act like they've got something great when they have put rims and an exhaust on a Corolla S. Funny, I don't see too many automatic Corollas at the track?
